ANN:       Look, Gary!
           That policeman's waving to
           you.
           He wants you to stop.
POLICEMAN: Where do you think you are?
           On a race track?
           You must have been driving
           at seventy miles an hour.
GARY:      I can't have been.
POLICEMAN: I was doing eighty
           when I overtook you.
POLICEMAN: Didn't you see the speed
           limit?
GARY:      I'm afraid I didn't, officer.
           I must have been dreaming.
ANN:       He wasn't dreaming, officer.
           I was telling him to drive
           slowly.
GARY:      That's why I didn't see the
           sign.
POLICEMAN: Let me see your driving
           licence.
POLICEMAN: I won't charge you this time.
           But you'd better not do it
           again!
GARY:      Thank you.
           I'll certainly be more
           careful.
ANN:       I told you to drive slowly,
           Gary.
GARY:      You always tell me to drive
           slowly, darling.
ANN:       Well, next time
           you'd better take my advice!

警察：你认为你现在是在哪儿？
      在赛车道上吗？你刚才一定是以每小时
      70英里的速度开车。
加里：我不会开得那么快的。
警察：我是以第小时80英里的速度赶上你的。
警察：难道你没看见限速牌吗？
加里：恐怕我没有看见，警官。
      我一定思想开小差了。
  安：警官，他思想没有开小差。
      我刚才正告诉他开慢点。
安里：所以我才没看见那牌子。
警察：让我看一看你的驾驶执照。
警察：这次我就不罚你款了。但你最好不要再
      开得这样快。
